‘Dancing With The Stars’ 2017 Predictions: Who Will Win The Season 24 Mirrorball Trophy?
There are just two weeks left in Season 24 of “Dancing With the Stars.” Right now, four worthy teams remain in the game.
Still, fans of the ABC competition series have been taking bets as to which team will win it all. The latest betting odds from Oddsmakers have Team Valmani (Val Chmerkovskiy and Normani Kordei) edging out Team Golden Giggles (Sasha Farber and Simone Biles) for the win in the finals. As we’ve learned through watching the show in the last few weeks, anything can happen.
Also a contender for the Mirrorball trophy are Team Shad Squad (Emma Slater and Rashad Jennings) and Team Lady and the Gramp (Lindsay Arnold and David Ross). Oddsmakers had either Team Denim N Diamonds (Sharna Burgess and Bonner Bolton) or Lindsay and David going home in Week 8, so it seems safe to say most “DWTS” fans’ money isn’t on them for the win. Rashad and Emma could take it all, provided they can take the judges critiques to heart and clean up the NFL superstar’s footwork a bit.
In Week 8 on “DWTS,” the pairs performed with their partners before adding a member to their teams for a trio routine. Team Valmani and Team Golden Giggles dominated, though the judges critiqued Simone for smiling so much. By the end of Monday’s episode, it was clear that she was frustrated and feeling the pressure of making it so far.
“I feel like everyone has their own opinion, clearly, and I feel it’s just how you take it,” she told ET Online after the show. “I feel like I am trying, I am being honest, but if they don’t see that, I don’t know what more I can do.”
While Simone seems ready to hang up her dancing shoes, her partner’s prepared to channel her frustration into something great in the semifinals. He promised ET that they were going to return to the “DWTS” ballroom in Week 9 with something spectacular that will satisfy the judges’ need for emotion. Defending Simone, whom he’s become close to in the last few weeks, Sasha said she’s working “hard” and picking up dancing quicker than most.
“I just know how hard this girl works,” he said. “Each week she comes in and she delivers something different. There’s a lot of expectation on her shoulders, and we’re just gonna go back into the studio and keep digging.”
Perhaps the reason for Simone’s frustration stems from the fact that she and Sasha have been lingering in the same spot on the leaderboard throughout much of Season 24 on “DWTS.” The duo have dedicated themselves to knocking Team Valmani out of the No. 1 position, but haven’t been able to do so yet. We’ll just have to wait until next week to see if Val and Normani can be dethroned.
While they haven’t been able to take out their toughest competitors, Team Golden Giggles — as well as the three other remaining teams — have picked off several others. In fact, “DWTS” Season 24 has contained more shocking eliminations than any season prior. In Week 6, Team Maksimum Heat (Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Heather Morris) went home after getting a perfect score and the following week saw Team Blades of Glory (Artem Chigvintsev and Nancy Kerrigan) and Team Baby Got Bach (Peta Murgatroyd and Nick Viall) sent packing.
